Four out for Spurs

Tottenham coach Martin Jol will be without four long-term absentees for the visit of north London rivals Arsenal.

Wayne Routledge (foot), Goran Bunjevcevic (foot), Anthony Gardner (thigh) and Noe Pamarot (knee) are all still unavailable or not yet match fit enough to be considered by the Dutchman.

Jermain Defoe and Egyptian striker Mido are set to lead the attack while Spurs will be without influential midfielder Edgar Davids.

The Dutchman is ruled out of his first north London derby after collecting his fifth yellow card of the season against Manchester United last weekend.

Provisional squad: Robinson, Cerny, Stalteri, Dawson, King, Naybet, Lee, Reid, Jenas, Carrick, Tainio, Lennon, Brown, Mendes, Davis, Defoe, Mido, Keane, Rasiak, Kelly.
